February 2009Site updated to include archived material available at the USGenWeb Digital Library for Virginia. These links are designated as "Archive" Deeds or "Archive" Wills, etc. The USGenWeb Digital Library for Virginia was developed to provide free on line data for genealogical research. These archives are dependent on volunteers, people just like you, to donate their time by transcribing public domain records or other non-copyrighted primary sources. If you have Isle of Wight records to contribute, please click here.

Isle of Wight Family Research Pages:
All of the links below will contain many additional names of Isle of Wight residents. You will also note close family connections with residents in the adjacent counties of Surry and Nansemond. Often property owned by one individual might cross county lines – as they still do today. Since Southampton County was created from Isle of Wight about 1750, the people who later show up in Southampton did not migrate, but had county boundaries created around them.

Of special note:

Bob's Genealogy Filing Cabinet II: About halfway down the page, is a section called "Interpreting Colonial Records". It contains such items as "Legal Age" and "Women and the Law". Also on this site are family files of the Jordan and Reynolds Isle of Wight families.
